After coming out of the restroom, Yi Shuihan sat back down in his original seat.

He glanced casually at the wine glass in front of him, then looked to the other side of the private room, pointed to a tall pole standing upright, and asked, "What's that for?"

He wanted to ask when he came in, but he left it for now.

Xuan Chi made an exaggerated expression of surprise.

"You don't recognize this? Really? This is a pole used for pole dancing. Have you never seen pole dancing before?"

Yi Shuihan replied truthfully, "I haven't seen it."

I only heard a woman mention it.

Xuan Chi slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

"I never thought there would still be people who haven't seen pole dancing these days. But you're in luck. There's a girl named Lily here who's an amazing pole dancer. I'll call her over right now."

Just as he was about to press the bell, Yi Shuihan raised his hand to stop him.

"We can just drink and eat; I don't want to watch the dance."

Xuan Chi raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

Yi Shuihan nodded.

Xuan Chi immediately became interested.

"What does your girlfriend look like? Can I see a picture?"

He thought to himself, "Just revealing that Yi Shuihan has a girlfriend is enough to make him lose half of his fans."

Yi Shuihan replied indifferently, "It's inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient?"

"I'm afraid of attracting thieves."

"..."

Xuan Chi was utterly speechless.

Does he think his girlfriend is some kind of angel, that he can't stand anyone else who even glances at her?

He might not have gotten a girlfriend at all, but rather hooked up with a rich woman.

If it really is the latter… he thought maliciously, he feared that after tonight, the rich woman would be furious and want to take revenge on him.

Thus, Yi Shuihan's path to stardom was completely severed.

He was secretly pleased.

"Okay, if it's inconvenient, then forget it. Let's continue drinking."

He clinked glasses with Yi Shuihan, watched him finish his drink, and then drank it all down himself.

Then he refilled their cups and urged Yi Shuihan to continue drinking.

I don't know if it was because the liquor was too strong or what, but he started to feel dizzy as he drank.

"No, I need to go to the restroom too."

He propped himself up on the sofa and staggered toward the bathroom, but collapsed back onto the sofa halfway there.

Yi Shuihan chuckled.

He turned and left the private room.

He didn't leave immediately, but hid in a dark corner, watching the commotion from a distance.

Two alluring young women arrived first, and shortly after they went in, a shifty-looking young man followed.

After understanding Xuan Chi's plan, he left the Heavenly Palace.

Not long after I came out, my phone vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID and smiled slightly.

"I'm on my way to the airport, I'll arrive at 10 p.m.

On the other end of the phone came Xiao Qingyin's voice: "I made lotus root and pork rib soup for you as a late-night snack."

...

Xuan Chi woke up with a splitting headache and found himself lying on the sofa with his clothes scattered all over the floor.

He sat up abruptly.

Looking around, he saw the private room where he and Yi Shuihan had eaten.

But there was no one else besides him.

What about Yi Shuihan?

A commotion arose outside the door, and someone asked, "Is this the room?"

He was terrified and frantically grabbed his clothes from the floor and his phone from the coffee table, then fled into the bathroom as if his life depended on it.

Just as I closed the door, I heard the sound of the door being pushed open from outside.

"Huh? Nobody's here? Did they leave?"

"The bathroom is closed; he's probably inside."

"I call out, Xuan Chi, is that you?"

Xuan Chi dared not respond.

After hastily putting on his clothes, he turned on his phone with trembling hands.

The first thing that catches the eye is the hundreds of phone calls from agents.

Secondly, there was an overwhelming flood of fan comments.

Upon logging into social media, the top trending topic was a video of him embracing two women in a private room.

Bang—

The phone slipped from his hand and crashed heavily to the ground.

how so!

It was clearly Yi Shuihan who drank that cup of wine, and he should be the protagonist in the video, so how did it become him?

What exactly happened?

He carefully recalled the events of last night and suddenly realized that when Yi Shuihan asked about the steel pipe, his gaze had left the table.

It is highly likely that Yi Shuihan switched the cups during those few moments.

He underestimated him!

No wonder some people don't even recognize steel pipes; it turns out it was a lie to distract him.

He actually believed it to be true.

How incredibly naive and foolish!

When exactly did Yi Shuihan realize his scheme?

When you go to the restroom?

Or did they realize it from the beginning?

The thought that he might be made a fool of like a monkey made him tremble with anger.

But now is not the time for reflection; he needs to quickly suppress this scandal.

The woman and the paparazzi from last night were both hired by that mysterious person. He definitely has a way to remove the trending topic and suppress this matter.

He picked up his phone, found the contact number, and dialed it.

"Beep—The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

He dialed more than a dozen times in a row, but couldn't get through, and then he realized that he had been blocked.

Just then, the bank's customer service called: "Mr. Xuan, a user reported that a sum of 50 million yuan was mistakenly transferred to your account recently. Please return this money..."

He couldn't hear what was said after that.

After things went wrong, that person actually tried to recover the 50 million from the bank!

He lost his reputation, his money, and all his hard work turned into a complete disaster.
